What is this guys deal? I'm all about staying true to your team and all, but nobody would fault this guy for moving on to greener pastures. He'd be a real difference maker for a handful of teams on the outside of the contender bubble.

Terrible move by Dumars. He needs to let the 00's team go, it's been over for a long time. He is excessively loyal to these guys. And what message are you sending your young players when you keep around the veterans who revolted against the coach?

They have Austin Daye ready to step in at SF, a younger, cheaper version of Prince. They have Greg Monroe, a promising young big man. Brandon Knight. Embrace the youth movement.

Would anybody be surprised if they re-signed Stuckey now too? It would be a typical Dumars move.

That message was already sent, the coach was fired.

Austin Daye is not an NBA player. He's not ready to step in, he's ready to start looking for a contract overseas.

Stuckey is the one who really needs to go. As well as Rip or Ben Gordon, I'd prefer Detroit keep Gordon.
